Members of the community and WLD’s community reporters and supporters all came together to put their brains to the test at our latest community quiz night.
The event saw more than 25 people puzzle over some tough questions in good company at Truly Scrummy cafe, Horsforth Town Street, on Tuesday evening.
Representatives from the local WI, from MHA Communities Horsforth, town and city councillors all formed teams and enjoyed the super food and drink from our hosts.
The quiz was hosted by community reporter Jill Stocks and the event was part of the annual UK Indie News Week, which highlights the importance of independent news.
The Week is the brainchild of The Public Interest News Foundation (PINF), the UK’s first charity to support public interest news – ethical and impartial journalism that informs and empowers the public about the things that matter to all of us.
Open newsroom and community mapping
Don’t forget, today (Thursday, 4-7pm) sees WLD opening our community newsroom at Bramley Lawn Social Centre to anyone interested in meeting our team, having a coffee and a chat and perhaps getting involved in our people-powered journalism.
We’ll also be doing some community mapping, highlighting where local community groups, organisations and centres are based in our communities, with a view to producing interactive maps which help guide people to what community activities are going on and where.
You’re very welcome to attend!
